– Having Hope
Having hope is not “being in denial”. As Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t… you’re right.” If you think you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die. If you think you’re gonna prevail, you have a fighting chance and, trust me, no one’s gonna laugh at you for hoping when you’re gone. And if they do? The joke’s on them… you’ll be off on your next assignment!
That’s exactly how Cheri and I lived until her last day.
This is how I’ve been living my life, and it helps a lot! My biggest strength and hope comes from my faith in God.
Hope is essential. It’s fragile, and sometimes fleeting and can be snatched away at any time. But what a shame for someone to steel it from another. Even in death, one can hope for a good death.
